Easily Gio, he's been way more consistent and more likely to get involved against a solid D. I've believed since before the season that Gio will end up shaking out as the top RB in Cincy. Only go Hill if you think there's TDs to be had.

need a flex, 0.5 PPR
Willie Snead @Phi
or
Pierre Garcon @Atl

Percy Harvin is my other flex. I also have Stevie Johnson, Chris Johnson, & Ronnie Hillman as other options.

Mr. Meagles: Apr 30, 2004; Out here, everything hurts

pick 2 flexes in 1 PPR:

Leonard Hankerson vs WSH
Golden Tate vs ARI
Stevie Johnson vs PIT
Sammy Watkins @TEN

Assuming all questionables are active. Only one I'm pretty sure about starting is Hankerson

I'd consider starting Garcon and Hillman, although I don't mind Harvin as an option this week. I'm starting both Garcon and Hillman this week (different leagues though).

I like Rawls here. Hyde is the better player, but 49ers offense is a poo poo show. Plus game flow should favor Rawls. I'd guess Seattles defense keeps it close and forces a possession / running game kind of day, while the 49ers will usually be playing from behind which means kaepernick getting sacked and picked while trying to pass.

Pick me a flex, 12 team 1 PPR:

Starting Forsett and Rawls at RB, Torey Smith and Telvin Benjamin at WR and Gronk at TE.

Charles Clay
Tevin Coleman
Bishop Sankey
Martavis Bryant

I'm leaning Clay - don't like Bryant on Monday with murky status, don't like Sankey against Buffalo, don't like Coleman coming off injury against a Washington rush defense that is somehow good. But I'm skeptical of starting two TEs.

Andre Ellington @DET
or
Shane Vereen vs SF

0.5 PPR

Ellington is set to play, but probably wont start, where as Vereen has not been pulling in many points at all.

Name Change: Oct 9, 2005

I have the unusual problem of too many stud wide receiver plays in my PPR league (some of them are on the trading block and were picked up in anticipation of dealing them for someone else, but still).

I am leaning toward James Jones being a better play than Maclin over time.

Also, Bennett vs. Clay?

Ellington- I'd much rather hope for points any part of the ARI offense than any part of the NYG offense not named Odell.

Magicpants: Sep 15, 2011; Certified Poster

Echoing that. Ellington is just a much more important part of his offense. He's a better player and he's guaranteed to be involved, who knows how many touches the Giants are gonna bother giving Vereen.

Fire Safety Doug: Sep 3, 2006; 99 % caffeine free is 99 % not my kinda thing

Need to replace CJA on a six-man NFL standard league. Options on the waiver wire include:

Frank Gore
Carlos Hyde
Karlos Williams
Danny Woodhead
Gio Bernard

Also need a DEF for the week at least. Top 5 options based on current rank:

Rams
Packers
Falcons
Lions
Vikings

Any tips are appreciated.

Half PPR - need help on my flex

Should I go with Doug Martin or Golden Tate? I feel like I carry the Martin curse where I only play him in the games he underperforms, get excited by a great game, and then taste bitter disappointment as I am let down yet again. Jax got gashed by the NE run game so that should give Martin a pretty good floor?

Could use some help at FLEX in a standard league.

Cooks vs Philly
T.Williams vs NE
Ellington vs DET
CJAnderson vs OAK

Currently leaning Williams for some garbage time points, but Ellington possibly playing intrigues me.

In another league, I can only start 2RB and 1 Flex.

L.Bell (no brainer)
Lewis vs DAL
Yeldon vs TB

Latiavus Murray vs DEN
Blount vs DAL
Hillman vs OAK

Fell bad sitting Murray but Lewis and Yeldon have the better gameplay script, right?

I'd go with Ellington for role skill and game flow. Williams just has game flow going for him, Weeden negates the rest of his advantage against Ellington.

12 team .5 PPR, I need 3 RB:

Thomas Rawls v. CIN
Rashad Jennings v. SF
Duke Johnson v. BAL
Andre Ellington v. DET
Joseph Randle v. NE

Leaning Randle Jennings Ellington, but I'm a little skeptical of game flow for Randle.

Randle (1) as the best playmaker in the backfield in a game I expect them to play from behind in.
Johnson (2) based on recent trends and Cleveland identifying that they need him in the passing game.
(3) Damned if I know. Ellington probably.

Which bad option should I choose?

0.5 ppr, need an RB2 and a flex.

Lewis @ DAL
Blount @ DAL
Spiller @ PHI
Hyde @ NYG
Karlos Williams @ TEN

Currently rolling with Lewis and Blount since they both stand to have a monster game against Dallas. Also, I'm playing the top guy in the league and he's already up by 43, so I kinda feel like I need to swing for the fences here.

I currently have Witten in as my TE but I now have an open FLEX spot with Karlos Williams out this week.

Have the following options:

TE: T. Eifert
RB: A. Morris
RB: T. Coleman

Question 1: Consensus on Witten over Eifert at my TE1?

Question 2: Who to place in the FLEX?
